Holding Strong
Holding strong
I split the grasses sovereignty
Protect the fragile tubular stem
Work quickly in the cool of darkness
To prepare
For a brightness
To challenge the sun
Awaken the drowsy bees
Torment the gardener
For I am a harbinger of spring
An errant child singing off key
A puppy challenging the leash
A toddler consumed with itself
I am the strength of yellow
Soon to release my airborne offspring
For Dandelions are not bound
By the rules of the garden
